Hi,

As you must have got the relevant documentation on MDM by now I wouldl like to tell you what else MDM can do and its industry requirement.

See MDM SP03 is baically a WIN32 application developed to model data designing ,importing,managing and syndicating master data centrally under one roof.Power of MDM comes into picture when it can import data from various legacy and R3 systems and can manage them in its data manager.Basic steps in MDM are

1)DATA CONSOLE it is the adminstration side of MDM.Here you make repositories to make tables needed to keep data and you define user roles and admin rights.

2)DATA manager Here you make entries in your table or delete or arrange.In precise you do actual data modelling here.An important feature of manager is its powerful search help.

3)DATA IMPORT MANAGER Here you import files from your legacy and R3 systems and Match the data fields to the table fields of repository you have created in console.

It is perhaps the most important feature of MDM.

4)Syndicate Manager Here after your data is there in repository and you have successfuly deleted the duplicates you can then syndicate the data back to various systems.

Now comes an importatnt part of MDM. after the implementation of MDM you have portals and iviews to create new entries of data in MDM by some authorizations and security checks.However the same can be done at DATA manager.Also you have IMAGE MANAGER to take care of all images as well as workflows and validation checks

Also improved version of MDM SP04 is scheduled to be launched in august 06.

Will send you the material.Send me ur email id.
